The band was created in 1987 and is regarded as one of the most influential bands of the Spanish hard rock scene, besides being a complete symbol for their region. Iniesta's lyrics are often described as rude street poetry, with frequent allusions to drugs, love and self-destruction.
The band's name is a pun. Literally, Extremoduro means "hard extreme", and is also a straight-forward deformation of "Extremadura", the region where the band comes from.
Well-known songs by Extremoduro include "So payaso", "Golfa", "Salir", "Extremaydura", "Puta" and "Jesucristo García". The highest moment in the band's career was probably reached with the release of their album Agíla, which was awarded a prize for best video in the first edition of the Spanish Music Adwards in 1996.
Buitre No Come Alpiste
Extremoduro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
-mirando subir las olas-
preparadito para la acción.
Si la suerte me abandona
y dice que no quiere verme,
le llamaré estafadora
me ha robado mientras duerme.
Me he pasado tantas horas
viendo de los pétalos la flor,
que se me acerca una amapola
y me vuelve a la boca to´l sabor.
Mírame a los ojos; sé qué estás pensando.
De tu cabeza quiero beber caldo.
Para matar mis dudas y subir hasta tu luna.
Tírate en suelo; vete colocando.
De tu entrepierna quiero beber caldo
y como ratas de basura: Desorden y Soledad
se fueron viéndote llegar.
Ella se esconde el aire
que rodea el sonido de mi voz
y yo me entreno como un perro
para que le muerda mi canción.
Si la suerte me abandona
y ves que estoy un poco triste,
es que tú eres una zorra
y un buitre no come alpiste.
Y si te sientes perdedora
sácate de la boca el amor
y devuélveme todas las horas
que paso pensando que somos dos..
Mírame a los ojos; sé qué estás pensando.
De tu cabeza quiero beber caldo.
Para matar mis dudas y subir hasta tu luna.
Tírate en suelo; vete colocando.
De tu entrepierna quiero beber caldo
y como ratas de basura: Desorden y Soledad
se fueron viéndote llegar.
Será que te han cogido miedo de saber
que estás mas loca...
que yo, que necesito ver amanecer
cuando no toca.
The song Buitre No Come Alpiste by Extremoduro speaks about a masculine character who is in a room with a woman and how he wants to engage in sexual activity with her. He talks about how he has been waiting for the opportunity to do so and how he wants to drink from her head and genitals. The character is also aware that the woman is not interested and he blames her for his misfortunes if things do not go his way. There is a sense of desperation and obsession in his words, as he becomes increasingly aggressive and violent towards the woman.
The lyrics are dark and complex, exploring themes of love, lust, and power dynamics. The song projects a sense of masculine entitlement, where the male character believes that he is entitled to the woman's body and attention. The chorus repeats the same lines, where the male character wants to drink from the woman's head and genitals, creating a sense of urgency and desperation. The song ends with a sense of frustration and bitterness, where the male character blames the woman for his misfortunes.
